Ingredients
Curtido:
-
2 cups shredded green cabbage
-
½ cup apple cider vinegar
-
½ cup water, or more as needed
-
½ onion, thinly sliced
-
1 carrot, grated
-
¼ teaspoon ground oregano
-
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
-
salt to taste
Pupusa Dough:
-
3 cups masa harina flour (Mexican corn masa mix)
-
1 ½ cups water, or more as needed
-
½ teaspoon salt
Pupusa Filling:
-
1 cup ricotta cheese
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream, or more to taste
-
1 scallion, finely chopped, or more to taste
-
cooking spray
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add cabbage and cook uncovered until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander and immediately immerse in ice water for several minutes to stop the cooking process. Drain.
-
Mix cabbage, apple cider vinegar, water, onion, carrot, oregano, red pepper flakes, and 1 pinch salt together in a large bowl. Refrigerate until flavors combine, 8 hours to overnight.
-
Combine masa harina, water, and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a large bowl; knead until a smooth, moist dough forms. Add water if dough cracks when you press down on it. Let dough rest, 5 to 10 minutes.
-
Stir ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, heavy cream, and scallion together in a bowl to make a paste.
-
Divide dough into 8 balls. Press your thumb into the center of each ball to form an indentation. Fill indentations with ricotta cheese paste. Pinch edges together around the filling; flatten and smooth into round 1/4 inch-thick patties between your palms.
-
Grease a skillet with cooking spray; preheat over medium heat. Cook pupusas in batches until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
-
Drain cabbage mixture and serve alongside pupusas.
Recipe Tip
Substitute farmer's cheese for the mozzarella cheese if desired.
